Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry 

Oliver Hazard Perry, the hero of Lake Erie, 
was born at South Kensington, R. I., in 1785. His 
father before him was a seaman, and fought 
throughout the Revolutionary War. At the age of 
14 Oliver entered the U. S. Navy as a midshipman. 
He went through the Tripolitan War, which grad- 
uated so many brilliant naval officers. During the 
early part of the war of 1812 he was in charge of 
a flotilla of gunboats at Newport. Desiring to see 
more active service, he requested that he be at- 
tached to the naval force on the lakes; accordingly 
in March, 1813, he arrived at the Port of Erie, 
there to find a fleet of ten vessels being prepared 
to take action against the British fleet under Com- 
modore Bartley, an old and experienced naval 
officer and hero of the days of Nelson. Perry was 
then 28 years of age. With an inadequate force, 
and many of his men inexperienced. Perry set to 
work to complete, rig and arm the vessels under 
his command. This was no small undertaking as 
everything had to be transported for hundreds of 
miles overland, over the worst of roads, with 
many annoyances and delays. However, the young 
commander surmounted all difficulties and found 
himself, on the morning of Sept. 10, with his fleet 
anchored in the waters of Put-in-Bay. The fleet 
consisted of the Lawrence, 20 guns, the Niagara, 
20 guns, the schooners, Caledonia, 3 guns, and 
Ariel, 4 guns, together with six smaller vessels 
carrying from one to two guns each. In all Perry's 
fleet mounted 55 guns, and the British fleet 63 
guns. Perry's flagship, the Lawrence, entered the 
engagement ahead of the fleet, and received the 
entire force of the attack of the British. His ship

was soon disabled and rendered useless for further 
action, and the greater part of the crew either 
killed or wounded. Captain Elliott, the second in 
command, failed to bring up the Niagara to the 
support of Perry, and the smaller vessels of the 
fleet had not come within firing distance. With 
his ship shot from under him. Perry took his flag 
and started in a small boat for the Niagara, the 
British ships tiring broadsides at him at pistol- 
shot distance, as he passed by them in succession. 
Although the water boiled about him. he reached 
the Niagara in safety, and taking her and the rest 
of the fleet quickly into action, turned the tide, 
gloriously winning the victory which swiftly 
terminated British supremacy in this region, and 
won the plaudits and gratitude of the whole Ameri- 
can people.

records of his department, the only one in which 
records were unharmed.

The U. S. frigate Constitution, familiarly known 
as Old Ironsides was the most famous vessel in the 
Navy. She was launched in 1797 at Boston. Early 
in the War of 1812, in less than twenty-five minutes 
of actual fighting, she defeated the proud British 
ship G-uerriere, and to the humiliation of Great 
Britain, lifted the American Navy to an exalted posi- 
tion. The Constitution was successful in many en- 
gagements. In 1830 she would have been broken up 
but for Oliver Wendell Holmes' poem, Old Ironsides. 
She is still afloat and used as a barrack ship in the 
Boston navy yard.

inspiring reminder of the Victory of Commodore 
Perry on Lake Erie is made of dark blue bunting 
with the straggling inscription across its field in 
white, "DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP." 

Usher Parsons, the surgeon on the Lawrence, in 
a paper read before the Rhode Island Historical 
Society in 1852, said, "Just before the American 
Fleet moved to attack the enemy, distant at 10 
o'clock about four or live miles. Commodore Perry 
produced the burgee or fighting flag hitherto con- 
cealed in the ship. It was inscribed with large white 
letters on a blue ground that could be read through- 
out the fleet, 'DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP' the 
last words of the inspiring Lawrence and now to be 
hoisted at the masthead of the flagship bearing his 
name. A spirited appeal was made to the crew 
assembled on the quarter-deck who returned three 
hearty cheers that were repeated along the whole line 
of our vessels and up went the Hag to the top of the 
fore-royal. When Perry was rowed from his sink- 
ing flagship to the Niagara, making his way through 
the hail of broadsides of the British vessels, he Hung 
this Hag over his arm and under it on the Niagara 
he entered again into the battle and in short order 
vanquished the British Fleet." The Hag was lent 
by the U. S. Navy Department from the historical 
collection at the Naval Academy, Annapolis.
